Bensley Pulp Mill,

It is worth ones time to visit the
above mill and see how nicely it does
its work. The basement is used to pre-
pare the wood for the grinders and
then taken to the upper floor. Its saw
ed up in lengths of about two feet, then
the bark is taken off by the clark
ing machine which is similar to an
edger in shingle mill, each length is
then split in twain by the chopper and
the knots (if any are hacked out and
the wood thrown into the elevator
which is taken to the upper floor.
Every part of this work is done with
such nicely that its pleasure to watch
the men do the work. Mr.. Bailey has
charge of the ''barker" and other part
les unknown to the writer have charge
of the other machines.
Two grinders are run during the
day and the third is put in operation at
night, when the custom run is shut
down at the Grist Mill, giving the pulp
mill more water. A very fine quality
of pulp is manufactured which finds
ready sale on the market.
We are informed that Improvements
will be made this summer whereby suf-
ficient water will be added SO that the
six grinders may be run the year round.
1t is hoped the company will succeed
in getting sufficient water.

The Wood County bridge bill, No. 629
A, has passed the Assembly, and is
now before the Senate. Every possible
means is being resorted to defeat the
measure. 1t has even been asserted
that Mayor w. H. Upham, to further his
political ends, has made conces-
sions to the opponents of the bill. The
Mayor is here this week to personally
deny any assertions of the kind, and to
brand the acquisition as lie.
How unkind it is for the boys at
Marshfeld, including Capt. Briggs and
Geo. Hiles to lay the defeat of the
Bridge Bill on poor w. HI. Upham.
That's what you get Upham for assisting
in the prosecution Of an unworthy
measure. However we are glad to
note that the bill was defeated in the
Senate due to it's own unworthyness.
It will now have rest for two years.
